About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Speedway gas station, a regular shouted one morning, ‘Hey, look sharp—this pump’s talking back!’ Everyone ignored him until the nozzle started singing old rock hits during fill-ups. Soon enough, every time someone pulled up, the pumps would burst into song. A delivery driver complained, ‘This is distracting my truck from driving straight!’ But everyone laughed it off as just another Speedway oddity. Even when the neighbors started humming along while filling their cars, nobody minded—they’d rather sing than stand in line somewhere else.

2. At Speedway gas station, an old man parked his car and noticed something odd in the parking lot—a mysterious box labeled ‘Free Samples’ with no recognizable logo or company name. The old man opened it curiously, only to discover a bag of stale chips and a note saying, 'Sorry for the inconvenience—we ran out of free samples.' He laughed and went inside, muttering, 'Guess I'll have to come back another time.'

3. At dawn, when Speedway usually buzzes with traffic, a delivery driver pulled up to fill his truck. He glanced around uneasily—the parking lot seemed eerily quiet, even for that hour. Just as he reached for the nozzle, an old man in a plaid shirt emerged from behind the gas station, waving cheerfully and calling out, ‘Morning, sonny!’ Startled, the driver almost spilled gasoline everywhere—until he realized it was just Mr. Jenkins, his friendly neighborhood retiree who always stopped by early for coffee. The delivery driver laughed, shook his head, and muttered, ‘Another day at Speedway.’

4. At Speedway gas station, a neighbor exclaimed one afternoon, ‘I just saw the cashier wink at that tank!’ Another customer overheard and laughed, saying, ‘That’s nothing—last week he was flirting with the pump!’ A delivery driver chimed in, ‘Maybe it’s his secret charm for getting good deals on fuel?’ The whole place burst into laughter, making Speedway feel more like a neighborhood hangout than just another gas station.
